7. While the duck is roasting, you can meanwhile prepare the pancakes, the dip and the vegetables:
8. Clean and wash the spring onions and cut half of them into oblique pieces approx. 3 cm long, the rest in brushes, put the brushes in cold water. Peel, halve and core the cucumber, then cut into approx. ½ cm thick slices and set aside.
9. Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and place the duck breast up on a gridiron and slide it onto the middle oven rail.
10. Put some hot water in the drip pan - the duck must not come into contact with the water, cook for 90-120 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, turn the temperature down to 160 ° C, turn the duck so that it is crispy and brown on all sides.
